About

About Stepworks of Nicholasville

Stepworks of Nicholasville anchors one of Kentucky’s most established addiction treatment networks, sitting on a quiet campus at 151 Coconut Grove Drive in Jessamine County. The site delivers the full Stepworks continuum: medical detox for safe stabilization, a 30-day residential program for sustained clinical work, intensive outpatient (IOP) for those returning to daily life, and sober living apartments for clients who need a structured bridge between rehab and independence.

Founder and CEO Tom Ingram, MD, frames the program around a clear conviction that, in his words, “no one wants to be an addict when they grow up.” His clinical team builds individualized plans around cognitive behavioral therapy, group and individual sessions, and medication-assisted treatment (MAT) options such as Suboxone or Vivitrol where appropriate. Patients can step down through the levels of care without changing systems of care, an unusual continuity in Kentucky’s rural recovery landscape.

SAMHSA registry data and Stepworks’ own materials show the program serves a broad population, including veterans, pregnant women, seniors, women’s-specific cohorts, court-ordered admits, and clients with co-occurring trauma or HIV/AIDS-related needs. The clinical model leans on CBT and trauma-informed care, with a holistic emphasis on dignity, relapse prevention, and family reintegration.

Financially, Stepworks accepts most commercial and Kentucky Medicaid providers, with insurance partners spanning Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Humana, CareSource, Passport, WellCare, Optum, and Cigna. The facility is CARF-accredited and reviewed at 4.7 stars on Google with more than 60 reviews. Admissions teams offer a free addiction screening by phone at (800) 545-9031 and can recommend an appropriate level of care for callers across Kentucky and the surrounding states.
